Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 34 years old and male. Due to my less disciplined lifestyle in the past, I now suffer from pubic lice, which has been very distressing for me. It has been itchy and embarrassing, and I would like to ask what should be done about pubic lice?Doctor's answer:
If you have pubic lice, always maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the genital area, take frequent baths, and change your underwear often. You can shave the pubic hair completely, or apply lindane cream and bug juice for treatment. During the treatment period, avoid sexual activity to prevent mutual infection and recurring relapses. Wash your underwear with boiling water, and use sulfur soap to clean your regular clothes. You can also soak in a bath with sulfur ointment. Take the medication on schedule. Pay attention to your personal hygiene habits and maintain a healthy diet.
